Nature Neighbours
Did you know that in the UK, gardens make up about 4,330 square kilometres? That’s bigger than the whole of Essex. If we want nature to make a speedy recovery, we need to invite wildlife to spill out of our nature reserves and into our gardens.
Invite your Nature Neighbours into a garden or green space by following our easy DIY guides and plotting your action for wildlife on our virtual maps. Click on a species to get started.

Pollinators

Hedgehogs
Round, brown and covered in spines, the European hedgehog is the UK’s most familiar wild animal. Hedgehog numbers have sadly fallen by 30% in just over ten years, but you can help link up our landscape for our prickly friends.
